Hi guys

with summer coming on here in Australia, I'll be spending most weekends at our "beach-shack" (yeah yeah, I know

)

I will obviously be going into the ocean for a swim and body-surf several times a day. I am still convincing myself that a trip-lock crown will keep the insides dry, but I am terrified that if I get rolled by a "dumper" I may emerge from the foamy water without my GMTIIc

How strong are the springbars? Am I crazy going into surf with a AU$8800 watch on?

My choices...
1. leave watch at home for the weekend and wear my Seiko divers
2. wear the GMT and take off before swimming (and leave in beach shack at with a small risk of theft)
3. wear GMT 24/7, and place my trust in the springbar strength

I have read posts about Nato straps having the security of still holding watch if one springbar breaks, but has anyone actually ever had this happen???

I guess if you were doing something rough, or maybe caught watch on a door, or something it may break, but how rough can a wave get???

Would love to hear...
